Burning Man removes massive ‘antisemitic’ pro-Palestine sculpture that aimed to cause ‘stir’

The Burning Man festival removed a massive pro-Palestine sculpture from the list of art installations set to be on display at the massive gathering this summer.

More than 1,000 people signed an online petition demanding the 8-foot-by-14-foot fiberglass watermelon titled “From the River to the Sea” previously listed on the event’s website be removed — but organizers said the listing was only submitted to cause a “stir” and likely won’t be part of the annual festival in the Nevada desert.

“The phrase ‘From the River to the Sea’ is more than just words; it is a battle cry that legitimizes violence against Jewish people and promotes a vision that denies the Jewish state’s right to exist,” the petitioners argued.

The phrase is a popular one among anti-Israel protesters since the war began on Oct. 7 with Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel.

“There is no place for hate and antisemitism at all!” one of the petition’s signers commented. “Especially in a festival promoting freedom and acceptance! Shame!”

Kumbaya. Everything is beautiful. We’ve got to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. Sign sign, everywhere a sign. Do this, don’t do that. Can’t you read the sign? Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. Get out of the way if you can’t lend a hand. The times they are a changin’. I dreamed I saw the bombers riding shotgun in the sky. They were turning into to butterflies above our nation. And no religion, too.

A modern day pagan festival. Man burning is surprisingly apt.

Yes, God gave them a hint, and they’re not paying attention to it.

One of my sons went to a few of those. Just a big drug party as far as I can tell.

Oh yeah it’s all fun and games until Hamas arrives in ultralights and machineguns everybody and rapes and mutilates the surviors.
